Tim Ruszala

“Tim is an incredibly strong engineer who brings infectious positivity to any team he is on. He not only does challenging work meticulously, he also takes ownership of every part of the project to make sure it is all done well and by deadlines. Most recently, Tim was the main point person on a complex project that involved migrating data out of 2 legacy systems and into several existing and new software tools. From architecting the solution, to giving demos along the way to both technical and non-technical people, to driving and implementing the work with the team, Tim led the project from start to very successful finish. He worked cooperatively with many different stakeholders to balance how best to tradeoff technology constraints with the need to get a working solution out quickly to support the business needs. In addition to his proven technical skills, Tim is always looking to grow and is incredible at soliciting and implementing feedback in all aspects of his work. I would love to have Tim on my team again in the future!”

“Tim is to the brim with potential. Give Tim a few more years in software and he'll be unstoppable. I'm honestly never seen a developer soak up so much knowledge and ramp up so quickly. He has soft skills (ability to present, understanding of systems and complex architectures) that software engineers take years to develop. On top of all that, Tim has a passion for improving things within a company's culture. If he sees something, he will say something and help gather allies to rally around the work to improve things. Highly recommend Tim.”

“Tim is a true go-getter. Incredibly fast learner, sharp, candid and clear communicator (be careful! your sales team might try to poach him); punches well above his weight as a mid-level engineer. I was fortunate enough to work as Tim's tech lead for three months, and it was a beautiful feeling to hand things off to him and know they'd get done well, on time, and with thoughts / opinions / questions that made sure we'd covered all the possibilities before shipping. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to add a great dev talent with infinite potential to their team.”

“I highly recommend Tim for any engineering position he may be undertaking. In our time with close collaboration, Tim consistently demonstrated a profound knowledge and skill with full stack engineering, and a strong commitment to best practices. His expertise significantly contributed to our projects and he diligently worked towards getting us across the finish line. Beyond technical skills, Tim fostered a fun environment and drove a collaborative culture within the team, and always made sure our meetings were done on time. Working with Tim was both productive and enjoyable, and I believe his skills and positive approach make him an excellent addition to any engineering team.”

“Tim Ruszala is an unmatched beacon of optimism. For him, nothing is impossible. Should you worry that something you're attempting to do cannot be achieved, Tim will be there to push everyone forward, and conquer all. If you have a problem, bringing Tim onto your team is an easy step toward solving it.”

“Tim is a brilliant software engineer, who is an absolute joy to work with. He has demonstrated great leadership and problem-solving abilities, which are invaluable assets to any team.”

“Tim is a skilled engineer who can communicate complex technical concepts in a clear, concise manner. Working with him during our time at Jesteer was an absolute pleasure. He guided the team in the development process with an agile/scrum methodology. Tim has the determination in overcoming blocks and has superb problem-solving skills. He also brings his contagious positivity to any environment. His keen insights and deep understanding of technologies across the stack make him an invaluable asset to any engineering team.”
